Project Summary/Abstract University of Alaska Anchorage (UAA) is a diverse primarily undergraduate institution located in the largest population center in Alaska. Approximately 90% of students are from Alaska and 50% of the incoming students are from Anchorage, which includes the most diverse census tract in the US. Approximately 34% of the student body is comprised of minority students with 5% of the student body being Alaska Natives. In fact, 62% of the students graduating from the target majors over the last 7 years were from minoritized racial/ethnic or other underrepresented groups. The proposed program will support 4 junior and 4 senior students each year after the first year for a total of 20 students with majors in Biology, Chemistry, and Natural Sciences. The program objectives are as follows: 1. To recruit a diverse pool of undergraduates who are committed to completing their baccalaureate degrees and transitioning into a biomedical, research-focused higher degree, 2. To incorporate the most successful practices and innovations from BUILD EXITO and other undergraduate research programs into a comprehensive and evidence-based training program for students traditionally underrepresented in biomedical fields, and 3. To foster interest in and support the transition into research- oriented biomedical graduate programs. We will actively seek to provide for the trainees the academic foundation, the practical hands-on experience, the professional development skills, and key psychosocial aspects to develop well-rounded graduates in the biomedical sciences. The 2-year Biomed U-RISE program will begin with a cohort-based summer Boot Camp and Orientation Enrichment, a Laboratory Orientation, and a Research Placement that will prepare the trainees to begin working in the laboratory to gain key experience prior to the academic semester. The trainees will attend a scientific conference in the fall, will participate in enrichment activities, and will have a summer research experience at a larger institution. With these experiences, the second year trainees will serve as peer mentors for the first year trainees. The program outcomes for trainees are as follows: 1. 90% will graduate from the identified biomedical disciplines, 2. 85% will complete a summer research intensive experience at OHSU or similar research institution, 3. 90% will attend at least 1 scientific conference, 4. 80% will present a poster or paper at a scientific conference, 5. 80% will show evidence of biomedical research career preparedness (having a GPA of 3.5 or higher at graduation), 6. 70% will apply to graduate programs within 2 years of graduation, and 7. 60% will be accepted into graduate programs in the biomedical sciences. Through this program we will address the larger need to increase the diversity in the biomedical workforce to reflect the changing demographics.

项目总结/摘要 阿拉斯加大学安克雷奇（UAA）是一个多元化的主要是本科院校位于最大的 阿拉斯加的人口中心。大约90%的学生来自阿拉斯加，50%的新生来自阿拉斯加。 学生来自安克雷奇，那里有美国最多样化的人口普查区。约34%的 学生团体由少数民族学生组成，其中5%的学生是阿拉斯加原住民。事实上， 在过去7年中，从目标专业毕业的学生中有62%来自少数民族 或其他代表性不足的群体。该计划将支持4名初中生和4名高中生 第一年后的第二年，共有20名学生，主修生物，化学和自然科学。的 计划目标如下：1。招募多元化的本科生，他们致力于 完成学士学位并过渡到生物医学，以研究为重点的高等学位，2。 结合BUILD EXITO和其他本科生最成功的实践和创新， 研究计划成为一个全面的和基于证据的培训计划，为学生传统上 在生物医学领域任职人数不足，以及3.培养兴趣并支持向研究过渡- 面向生物医学研究生课程。我们会积极为学员提供 基础，实际动手经验，专业发展技能和关键的心理社会 在生物医学科学方面培养全面的毕业生。为期两年的Biomed U-RISE计划 将开始以队列为基础的夏季靴子营和方向充实，实验室方向，和 一个研究实习，将准备学员开始在实验室工作，以获得关键的经验 在学期之前。受训人员将在秋季参加一个科学会议， 丰富活动，并将在更大的机构获得夏季研究经验。与这些 第二年的学员将担任第一年学员的同伴导师。程序 学员的成果如下：90%将从确定的生物医学学科毕业，2。85%会 在OHSU或类似的研究机构完成夏季研究密集型经验，3. 90%会出席 至少一个科学会议，4。80%的人会在科学会议上展示海报或论文，5。80%将 显示生物医学研究职业准备的证据（毕业时GPA为3.5或更高），6。 70%将在毕业后2年内申请研究生课程，7。60%将被研究生录取 生物医学科学的课程。通过这一计划，我们将满足更大的需求， 生物医学劳动力的多样性，以反映不断变化的人口统计。
